AI Improvements
Smarter Duplicants, Safer Colonies in Oxygen Not Included
Are your Duplicants constantly finding themselves in precarious situations? Do they seem to have a knack for getting stuck or making questionable construction choices? With the AI Improvements mod for Oxygen Not Included, you can breathe a sigh of relief as your colony’s AI becomes more intuitive and less prone to self-inflicted peril.
Enhanced Duplicant Logic
This mod subtly enhances the core AI of your Duplicants, leading to a more robust and less frustrating gameplay experience. The developers have focused on key areas where Duplicant behavior can often lead to problems, ensuring that your precious workers make smarter decisions, especially during routine operations.
Key Improvements at a Glance
- Improved Escape Routes: Duplicants will now exhibit more intelligent behavior when faced with potential entombment or falls, particularly from materials like Sand or Regolith. Instead of an abrupt, often unhelpful teleport, they will attempt to move towards their last known safe location, significantly increasing their chances of survival.
- Prioritized Access: The AI now slightly prioritizes the construction of essential access structures such as Ladders, Fire Poles, and Ribbed Fire Poles. This means your Duplicants can reach pending tasks more efficiently, reducing downtime and boosting overall productivity.
- Mindful Construction and Deconstruction: Duplicants will be less likely to deconstruct vital pathways like floors or ladders that they’ve recently used. They will also avoid building tiles that would block off areas they’ve recently traversed, preventing accidental colony isolation.
It’s important to note that these AI adjustments are designed to complement, not override, your established priority settings. Furthermore, during critical moments like Yellow or Red Alerts, the standard alert protocols will take precedence, ensuring Duplicants focus on immediate threats.
For the Discerning Colonist
The AI Improvements mod offers a subtle yet impactful enhancement to your Oxygen Not Included experience. By making your Duplicants a little smarter about their environment and their actions, you can foster a more stable, efficient, and ultimately, safer colony. Spend less time rescuing stuck Duplicants and more time on strategic expansion and technological advancement.
